LCC Machining Technology and Computer Engineering Technology Programs Visits Legislature


Lenoir Community College’s Machining Technology and Computer Engineering Technology program heads had the opportunity recently to demonstrate their expertise to legislators in Raleigh.

LCC Machining Technology Program Head Paul Hill and Computer Engineering Technology Program Head David Jones represented LCC with displays in the Legislative Building. Student Recruiter Debbie Craven assisted the two in raising the awareness of the educational opportunities available through the community college system.

Jones displayed BOE-BOTS that use the latest in stamp technology used in cell phones and other home electronic devices. He also demonstrated a see-through computer set up to show the inside working of a computer. Hill displayed a cannon replica and a few other items built by students.

The Computer Engineering Technology curriculum provides the skills required to install, service, and maintain computers, peripherals, networks, and microprocessor and computer controlled equipment. The program includes training in both hardware and software, emphasizing operating systems concepts to provide a unified view of computer systems.






 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Course work includes mathematics, physics, electronics, digital circuits, and programming, with emphasis on the operation, use, and interfacing of memory and devices to the CPU. Additional topics may include communications, networks, operating systems, programming languages, Internet configuration and design, and industrial applications.

Graduates of the program should qualify for employment opportunities in electronics technology, computer service, computer networks, server maintenance, programming, and other areas requiring a knowledge of electronic and computer systems. Graduates may also qualify for certification in electronics, computers, or networks. For more information, contact Jones at 527-6223 Ext 102 or at djones@lenoircc.edu.

The Machining Technology curriculum is designed to develop skills in the theory and safe use of hand tools, power machinery, computerized equipment and sophisticated precision inspection instruments. Students will learn to interpret blueprints, setup manual and CNC machines, perform basic and advanced machining operations and make decisions to insure that work quality is maintained.

Employment opportunities for machining technicians exist in manufacturing industries, public institutions, and governmental agencies and in a wide range of specialty machining job shops. For more information, contact Hill at 527-6223 Ext 107 or at phill@lenoircc.edu.
